The TRANSITION Networks Ethernet™ 10BaseFL/10BaseT Adapter (media converter),
E-TBT-FRL-01, connects fiber optic cable (10BaseFL) to twisted pair (10BaseT).
The 10BaseFL/10BaseT Adapter provides an RJ-45 twisted pair connector and a set of
Receive and Transmit ST fiber optic connectors. The twisted pair connection allows a
10BaseT device to be located at a distance of up to 100 meters (185 feet). The fiber
optic ST connections allows a device to be located at a distance of up to 2000 meters
(6,600 feet). NOTE: A media converter with an SMA type fiber connection, E-TBT-
FRL-01(SMA), also is available.

The two active pairs in a 10BaseT network are pins 1 & 2 and
pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white
& white/blue, orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins.
Cable connections between a hub and the media converter must be configured as
straight through. Cable connections between the media converter and a terminal,
transceiver or NIC must be configured as crossover.
1. Is the power LED on the media converter illuminated?
NO •Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency for your AC outlet?
NOTE: Refer to the “Power Supply Requirements”on the back page.
•Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in the outlet?
•Contact Technical Support at [phone] or at (800) LAN-WANS.
YES •Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the 10BaseT Link LED illuminated?
NO •Check UTP cables for proper connection and pin assignment. (See below.)
•Contact Technical Support at [phone] or at (800) LAN-WANS.
YES •Proceed to step 3.
2. Is the fiber Link LED illuminated?
NO •Check fiber cables for proper connection.
•Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to RX and TX ports,
respectively, on the other 10BaseFL device.
•Contact Technical Support at [phone] or at (800) LAN-WANS.
YES C t t T h i l S t t [phone] t (800) LAN WANS
•Be certain that the 10BaseT cable is
configured correctly (straight through or
crossover) for site installation.
•Verify that both the fiber products to be
connected are 10BaseFL or FOIRL compliant.
(The fiber port on the TRANSITION Networks
E-TBT-FRL-01 conforms to 10BaseFL or FOIRL
but NOT to 10BaseFB or FDDI.)
•62.5/125 micron duplex fiber cable is
recommended.
•The maximum dBm loss for the fiber cable
should not exceed 13 dBm.
•Connect the power supply cable to the media
converter BEFORE connecting to the outlet.
•This unit must be installed with the PSU
provided. (Output 9 VDC regulated, 500 mA).
•Connecting more than two media converters in
series is not recommended.
